Housing Quality Standards (HQS) Course

Note: This training will be 10am-5pm for both days due to the opening and closing times of the Pretlow Library. Also, this training is being hosted by The Planning Council and is already at a discounted rate. So, there is no Early Bird or Group Rate available for this training.

Quadel’s Housing Quality Standards (HQS) training is a one and one-half day workshop, followed by a certification examination administered in the afternoon of the second day. The workshop includes classroom lecture and discussion, PowerPoint slides, and presentation of a training film. The course provides an overview of HQS and a program update, followed by a review of general HQS requirements, including performance measures, acceptability criteria, HQS versus local codes, inspection procedures, and lead-based paint requirements. A discussion and review of HUD’s HQS inspection forms are also included.
